    Groningen Team Overview

    Groningen have made a decent start to the season, picking up six points from their opening three rounds to sit fifth. In their last five matches they have won three and lost two, and over their last ten they have five wins against four defeats. Their attack looks reasonably solid - they average 1.6 goals per game, with that figure rising to over two at home. The defence, however, remains vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.7 per match, which means even their better results tend to come with chances at both ends.

    Fortuna Sittard Team Overview

    Fortuna Sittard have picked up four points from their opening three league matches and currently sit in mid-table. Their recent results have been inconsistent, and the problems are more apparent over a longer run - they lost six of their previous ten matches. Going forward, they rarely struggle to create chances and average 1.2 goals per game. The main weakness remains the defence, which concedes 1.8 goals per match, regularly drawing the team into open games where they are forced to outscore their own defensive errors.
